Rooster’s Fate (Spoilers)


Are we to believe that since Rooster saved Maverick’s life and they made it back to the aircraft carrier safely that Rooster will be forgiven for disobeying a direct order not to attempt a rescue? In real life I expect he’d have been court-martialed upon his return, even considering the outcome.

A lot of things in this movie do not make sense, like why not use F-35, why didn't cruise missiles target enemy air defence and planes in hangars? So don't think too much of it.

The original movie had some seriousness built into it, the sequel I think is closer to a comic book movie. Very similar to star wars, just a tad more realistic than black widow. You can clearly see the action comedy style of Marvel movies.

I was more surprised about the high score, I think this movie is a 7/10 at best.

Yeah, I think a rationale for using older aircraft should have been provided. And you’re right about missiles targeting the SAMs.
